Towards Physics in Tevatron Run II
P. Grannis Manchester
Oct. 24, 2001
(some items for discussion)
Once the DØ detector, trigger commissioning
offline reconstruction of physics objects are
complete there will still be much to do to
optimize the physics analyses. This talk is
intended to stimulate discussion and draws on
some lessons from Run I. It is aimed at
identifying some of the areas where work is
needed for Electroweak studies and Searches
probably unimpeded by knowledge on my part of
details of recent work in the Physics Groups.
  • Top quark
  • Vector Bosons
  • Higgs
  • Supersymmetry
  • Some issues to be considered for optimizing Run
    II analyses flagged throughout the talk

  • In all cases, there is an additional hadronic
    system X formed from gluon radiation, and the
    spectator partons usually recoiling at small
    angles from the tt.

Top quark mass
  • In Run I, top mass was extracted from l
    jets,
  • l l 2 b-jets (and internally, all jets).
  • In most cases, the method is to
  • Choose a kinematic distribution that varies
    as mt changes
  • Monte Carlo set of templates with various top
    masses, and the backgrounds included
  • Likelihood fit for best Mt.
  • (Many choices of kinematic distribution.)
  • Illustration for l jets Use distribution of
    fitted top mass. Have 6 final state objects
    thus in zero mass approximation, 18 kinematic
    quantities needed. Measure 3-momentum of 4 jets
    and one lepton 2 components of ET. Constraints
    from equal t and t masses, and (qq), (l n) must
    have W mass, so have 20 known quantities ? 2C
    fit.
  • BUT Did not in general identify the b-jets
    (only for b?mX in Run I), so have 12 ways to
    assign the jets to partons (6 if there is a
    b-tag).

Initial state radiation can give extra jets
this should be absorbed into the state X. Final
state radiation from top or jets these should
be combined with the parent jet.
true mass
METHOD Perform a 2C fit for all associations
of the 4 leading jets to the tt hypothesis
choose the smallest c2 solution. Call the best
fit mass the fitted mass. Do the same for
(Herwig) MC events with a family of known true
top mass and get template distributions of fitted
mass for each true mass.

Lepton jets analysis
Select l, n, jets with high ET (gt 20 GeV)
  • Form topological variables for signal/bknd
    discrimination
  • missing transverse energy
  • HT SET(jets 2 to N) scalar transverse
    energy for non-leading jets. Large for top
    events due to large parent top mass, small for
    dijets.
  • A (aplanarity) smallest eigenvalue of
    momentum tensor large for top events as the top
    quarks tend to give isotropic decays QCD jet
    backgrounds have parent 2-jet topology
  • Dr minimum jet angular separation

Dilepton channel analysis
For the dilepton channel, there are two missing
neutrinos, so the fit is underconstrained by one.
DØ employed two methods Neutrino weighting
(nWT) and matrix element weighting (MWT). For
nWT, we assign a weight based on how much of the
nn phase space for signal is consistent with the
event kinematics, computed for a set of Mt
values. For MWT, compute a weight based on the
probability to have the lepton energies as
observed, and the product of PDFs required, for a
set of Mt values. After smearing many times with
the known resolution functions, and summing over
combinations, each event has a weight
distribution as a function of Mt
For the MWT analysis, weight distributions for
the 6 observed events
The weight distributions for all events are
averaged, and compared to MC templates for a
known input top mass. A best likelihood fit
gives the top mass.

Other Run I methods
1. For l jet evts, assume set of Mts and do
3C fit at each. Form pseudolikelihood
L e-c2(fit)/2 Fit L for maximum. Get
Mt 176.0 7.9 4.8 GeV
2. Fit pT(b), pT(lepton), HT ( sum of object
ETs) etc. These have lower statistical
precision due to less dependence on Mt.

3. Use tt production matrix
elements in forming weights (looks promising)

Top mass in Run 2
  • It will certainly be a different optimization
  • With x20 data (Run 2a), or x200 (Run 2b),
    statistical errors get small thus systematics
    become more important.
  • Much improved b-tagging (SVX) mean fewer
    combinatorics (though b vs. b is hard!), and
    much improved Signal/Bknd (e.g. double tagging)
  • Many more overlaid minimum bias events at high
    L .
  • Large improvement in MC capability (GRID farms
    around the world)

Look at the Run I systematic errors breakdown
Systematic errors dileptons Jet
energy scale 2.4 GeV Signal generator 1.8
Bknd model 1.1 Multiple Intns 1.3
MC statistics 0.3 Likelihood

How do we improve these?

Jet scale error
Jet energy scale (dominant error for l jets).
Error 2.5 0.5 GeV obtained from ET balance
in g jets events, taken from difference in
balance for data and MC. Check by ET balance in
Z(ee)jets events.
  • Jet scale error statistically limited in Run I,
    but there are systematic issues that will arise
  • jet widths
  • min bias contributions to jet scale
  • MC correction closure
  • b-jet corrections ( light quarks)
  • out of cone partons
  • Are there alternatives that minimize the jet
    scale error?
  • Is the dilepton channel better than l jets?
    (only 2 jets, so reduced jet scale effect)
  • Ratio of W/top mass in tt events, then scale
    with accurate MW (partly cancel jet scale
    error?)
  • Use variables less sensitive to jet scale (QCD
    radiation-proof variables) but with larger
    statistical error? (e.g. pT(lepton) for both l
    jet and l l )
  • Can one do better with kT (JADE-like) jet
    definition? (force right jets?)
  • Energy flow algorithm? (CFT for charged
    particles, CAL for neutral)
  • Neural net/H matrix to correct n loss from
    b-jets?

MC generators
In Run I, HERWIG was the primary signal
generator. Error is set by study of top mass
variation as fn. of (x non b/W jets in 1st
4), (y jets 4), (z extra FSR jets).
Also used FSR-suppressed HERWIG. PDF variation
is negligible. VECBOS used for Wjets background.
Vary Q2 scale from jet ltpTgt2 to MW2. Vary
VECBOS to alter hW . But HERWIG, VECBOS are
not full NLO, and could have other features
  • We need improved generators
  • Implement new NLO top generators including
    interference of ISR/FSR (Orr, Stirling). These
    generators need interface to full fragmentation.
  • Extend Wjets NLO to W4 jets? (DYRAD does W1
    jet). Add flavor accountability to VECBOS.
    Seek non-MC methods for Wjets (is Behrends
    scaling more accurate reliable? Verify
    theoretically at NLO?)

Likelihood fits
Likelihood curves are not parabolic error
depends on pts used, and on parametrization of
L fn.
  • Get more rigorous definition of fitting
    procedure.

10
11
Other issues for top studies
  • Min bias event overlaps Run I added 0.7 MC
    min. bias events on top, adding to Cal. energy.
    For Run 2, this up to 4-5. Good minbias MC
    modelling becomes crucial. Go to use of real
    minbias events taken at same luminosities for MC
    overlay (is now available, but needs work).
  • Top mass definition Fitted mass (pole mass) is
    uncertain at level of 0.5 GeV due to
    non-perturbative renormalon effects. Can DØ
    help/test these effects ??
  • Cross section Run 1 made 30 measurement,
    limited by jet scale background generator
    (20). If this improves, can use s(tt) as test
    of NNLO gluon resummed QCD! What precision for
    stt? Can this become a useful and meaningful
    test of resummed QCD? (Note that accurate s(tt)
    is needed for some Higgs backgrounds.)
  • Mass measurements Can use of tt matrix
    elements improve the constrained fit? Explore
    the pseudolikelihood mass measurement (lower
    syst. error in Run 1)

11
12
Other issues for top studies
  • Spin correlations Top decays before
    hadronization Run 1 made crude measurement of tt
    spin correlation l l direction correlations.
    How to make this QCD test most incisive? Get
    spin correlations into generators.
  • Top EW measurements Single top production via
    W exchange are sensitive to Vtb , GTOT . Can one
    discover the single top production and then
    refine the selection of single top to enhance the
    precision of these EW parameters?
  • FCNC and anomalous form factors what
    sensitivity for t ? Zc / g c to limit anomalous
    top couplings?
  • Tau decays t BRs are sensitive to admixture
    of t ? H b with H ? t n . How much
    improvement on H mass limits?

W boson mass
Three (correlated) variables are sensitive to the
W mass Electron pT , Missing ET (neutrino),
Transverse mass mT mT 2pT(e) pT(n)
1 cos(f(e) - f(n)) mT is insensitive to the W
production dynamics (corrections O(pTW/MW)2 )
but requires the inferred neutrino pT, hence is
sensitive to detector response. pT(e) and
pT(n) Jacobian edges depend on pT(W). pT(e)
depends only on well measured electron
kinematics pT(n) also depends on hadronic
response
mT and pT(e) distributions as generated and pT(W)
0 (solid line) correct pT(W) (red points) and
after detector resolution effects (yellow

Method Fast MC to include W production, decay
and full detector modelling. Make templates of
mT , pT(e), pT(n), for set of MW values and find
best fit.

Detector response modelling
The detector response functions for electrons,
recoil energy, radiative photons, etc. are mostly
determined from data distributions.
  • Electron response Emeas aEtrue d taken
    from Z?ee and precision LEP Z mass
  • Electron resolution s/E c s/ E n/E
    taken from fit to Z lineshape
  • Electron directions chamber and calorimeter
    position calibration from muons and Z?ee
  • Hadronic response require pT balance of ee-
    from Z and the hadronic recoil
  • Hadronic resolution shape of pT(X)
    distributions along/perpendicular to Z?ee
  • Trigger efficiencies measured with special data
    sets
  • Energy corrections to pT(e) and UT for hadronic
    energy falling into electron window
  • Correct selection bias for UT close to pe (loss
    of events due to energy isolation cut)
  • Radiative decays (W? eng) taken from theory and
    modelled in MC
  • Effect of extra minimum bias events underlying
    the W production taken from special inclusive
    triggers overlay these events at the same
    luminosity as for signal events
  • Backgrounds (mainly from QCD jets misidentified
    as electrons at 10-4 level) taken from special
    data sets by selecting bad electrons. W?tn
    ? ennn is included in the decay MC

14
15
Sample MC fits
The MC, with parameters determined from data, can
be confronted with data to show the validity of
the model. Some examples
Z?ee distributions for central/end and end/end
es showing validity of electron response,
resolution and background determinations
ratio of data h distribution to that of MC (an
important constraint on the PDF)
recoil energy along electron direction
recoil transverse energy
15
16
Mass fits
  • The W mass is obtained by comparing MC templates
    with various assumed MW to the data, and
    performing a likelihood fit. This example shows
    the mT distribution fit for end electrons.
  • (similar fits for pT(e) and pT(n) distributions )
  • A variety of cross checks are performed
  • consistency of mT, pTe, pTn fits
  • vary fit region in both mass and h
  • bin results as a function of time, thus L
  • vary the recoil pT cut
  • fit for the Z mass using transverse mass
  • compare result from two end calorimeters
  • compare for different electron impact position
  • compare for different EM energy fractions

Combined DØ W mass fits
Systematic errors arising from uncertainty in
detector or theory parameters are computed the
parameter errors are themselves correlated in
some cases, and when the same data sets are
employed, are correlated because of the data set.
The simultaneous measurement of MW for central
and end electrons is important in reducing the
theoretical error due to uncertainty in the PDF.
New measurement uses electrons aimed near
edge of central calorimeter modules (14 gain in
statistics for W). This measurement helps
primarily by constraining response parameter for
non-edge electrons. The full correlation
matrix is determined, yielding these W mass
values

Combined World results
Combining with the CDF result, Tevatron MW
80.454 0.060 GeV . LEP experiments precision
(per experiment) about the same as Tevatron.
LEP MW has increased over the past two years, so
now good agreement between LEP and Tevatron LEP
MW average 80.450 0.039
World Avg MW 80.451 0.033 GeV
Mt, MW give strong constraint on the Higgs boson
mass in the framework of the SM (green ellipse)
Indirect prediction (red ellipse) from the
precision LEP/SLC/nN measurements in reasonable
agreement (lt than 2s), but with the new higher
MW, there is a weak hint of the effect of new
physics. Supersymmetry would provide new
particles whose virtual effects would predict
higher MW.
The indirect MW indication from Z, n, top
measurements is 80.373 0. 023 GeV, nearly 2s
from the measured value.

  • Notes
  • most errors are stats limited
  • use mT, pT(e), pT(n) for consistency check (3
    error reduction over mT alone)
  • pT(e) least affected by hadronic corrections
  • overlaid min bias affects recoil resolution will
    become worse
  • need both end and central es to control pdf
    uncertainty
  • PDF error will be further constrained in Run 2 by
    W/Z asymmetries
  • Measurement in m channel not as accurate, but
    good cross check (note CDF problem in Run 1)

Questions for Run 2 W mass
The very first Run 2 W transverse mass plot !
  • Minimum bias overlay Can one improve with
    algorithm that seeks to measure underlying energy
    from other vertices in the same/neighboring
    events for each event? (recall that the DØ
    calorimeter samples several crossings. Run 2b
    may have digital filter to tag energy per cell
    from adjacent crossings. Use modification of
    energy flow algorithm to tag collisions at other
    z in same event?)
  • Which distribution? In presence of extra min.
    bias evnts, is pT(e) the distribution of choice?
  • The W muon decay is less useful than electron
    (dp)m 2.5 GeV (dE)e 1 GeV at W peak, so
    expect (dMW)m 2 x (dMW)e . Nevertheless, the
    W? mn channel should be used
  • Muons How will one best cross-calibrate the
    muon momentum and electron energy scales? What
    subsidiary measurements are needed to understand
    the effects of dead material, radiative effects,
    etc.
  • Muonic Zs Can Z ? mm events be used for
    establishing hadronic recoil parameters (even if
    Z ? mm resolution not so good)? (Double Z
    statistics)

20
21
Questions for Run 2 W mass
  • W pT Is there a (different) optimum cut on
    pT(W) that will minimize the combination of
    statistical and W production model error?
  • Radiation With a solenoid, radiated photons no
    longer overlap with the electron so well what
    errors for the radiative corrections and how best
    to establish them?
  • New methods Internal Run 1 analysis used ratio
    of W and Z transverse mass and scale to LEP Z
    mass (thus is limited by Z statistics). This
    cancels many effects due to electron, underlying
    event response/ resolution. Remaining systematic
    errors from small differences in W/Z production
    distributions. How far can this measurement be
    taken?
  • Combined channels At present, detector
    parameters (e.g. had. response) are determined in
    subsidiary data sets and used to generate
    separate mT, pT(e), pT(n) distributions. Can
    the fact that the underlying MW is the same for a
    given event in each of the distributions, can one
    add a constraint in the parameter determinations?
    (Like the constraint that the unknown t and t
    masses are equal.)

Higgs search
  • The canon
  • (a) SM Higgs now constrained to lt 200 GeV
  • (b) maybe LEP sighted it at 115 GeV
  • (c) Tevatron constraints from top/W will tighten
    indirect indication by x2-3.
  • (d) Tevatron can discover/see evidence up to 180
    GeV before LHC.
  • At masses below 135 GeV, use W/Z (H)
    production. l n (bb), l l (bb),
    nn (bb), qq (bb) , and l
    n (tt) (??), qq (tt) (??) channels all can
    contribute.

expected run 2 precision
  • Above 135 GeV, H ? WW dominates can use
    gluon fusion production.

22
23
General Higgs search questions
  • For some channels (Z(nn)H(bb), Z(tt)H(bb),
    Z(qq)H(tt) and Z?bb), triggering is an issue,
    even with STT detached vertex trigger. The Run
    2a trigger should have t trigger capability using
    isolated high pT track triggers. The Run 2b
    trigger upgrade envisions correlating CFT and CAL
    information to further aid in t triggering.

The Z?nn H?bb dijet opening angle and missing
ET correlations differ from QCD dijet events.
Run 2b trigger improvements to CAL trigger to
allow topological analysis of energy towers, and
finer CFT/CAL correlation could improve t and ET
triggers at L1.
dijet opening angle (in trk
sectors)
  • Triggering Study trigger rejections possible
    with CFT/CAL correlations, and topological
    triggers using CAL. Refine the triggers for Z?
    nn / tt H?bb, and Z? qq H? tt.

24
General Higgs search questions
  • The H?WW analysis simulation is at present
    based on series of simple cuts on kinematic
    quantities and is not optimized. There is no
    mass peak left after cuts, so the analysis is a
    counting experiment.
  • H?WW Pursue a multivariate analysis for the
    H?WW channel to improve its sensitivity. Seek
    variables that survive after cuts that carry mass
    information.
  • There may be a substantial diffractive
    production of Higgs, leading to two diffractive
    protons and a gap in rapidity to the di-b
    jets. Trigger on leading protons and rapidity
    gaps. Can one discover Higgs this way?
  • Diffractive Higgs Sort out the theory of
    diffractive Higgs production simulations needed
    to see if this is a useful channel and to find
    trigger efficiency.

Issues for Higgs search
Higgs will not be a precision business in Run 2 !
The Run 2 Higgs Working Group study has
examined many of the critical issues for refining
the search sensitivity. The two main keys for the
Higgs search are dijet mass resolution, and
b-tag efficiency and purity.
NN algorithm
Eflow algorithm
  • 1. Dijet mass resolution issues
  • Jet energy resolution is key (angular error is
    small)
  • Separate optimization of b and q/g jet
    resolutions
  • Getting a good sample of Z?bb will be crucial
    for studying b-jet optimization.
  • Energy flow (Use charged tracks neutrals in
    CAL). Optimize this algorithm (using data).
    Recent studies show perhaps 25 improvement over
    cone alg., (15 over NN alg.) largely due to ICR
    region, may be possible.

Effect of corrections to b jet on Higgs mass
resolution
  • b-jet resolution Devise multivariate algorithm
    to correct b-jet resolution use the
    multiplicity, leading track momenta, jet mass,
    topology etc. in each event to optimize dE/E
  • Z?bb Improve the trigger rejection at L1.
    STT is essential at L2 what else? (only 2 jets?
    equal ET jets?

25
26
Issues for mass resolution, contd
  • Effect of initial state radiation (should
    ignore) and final state radiation (should combine)

FSR only
ISR only
ISR FSR
  • Handling extra jets Can one devise a way to
    guess which are ISR and FSR jets? (pT, mass,
    angular weighting) Can JADE-like algorithms
    forcing event to right jets help?
  • Choice of jet algorithm (Higgs WG found little
    help from kT algorithm)
  • Jet algorithm What is the optimum jet
    algorithm. Can kT be better than cone?
    (Recent studies suggest it does not!)
  • Event pileup Higgs WG 25 deterioration from
    overlaid min bias events
  • Event pileup Can one learn to recognize energy
    due to pileup and subtract? Run 2b CAL trigger
    with digital filter could help tag events from
    other crossings.

26
27
b-tagging for Higgs
Yes, the low mass Higgs search is all about
b-tagging! The full simulation MC b -tag
efficiency mistag rate are improved from the
Higgs WG (parametrized MC).

27
28
b-tagging for Higgs
High tanb Susy Higgs can emphasize multi-b
events for example bbA production this may
indicate different b-tagging needs (looser?)
  • b tag algorithms Using data, work to improve
    the b-tag efficiency and decrease the mistag
    rates. (A Profound Statement !!)

Run 2 reach in MA vs tanb
  • bb event tag Is it possible to improve upon a
    simple tight/loose single b-tag, to make a
    bb-pair tag based on a single combined goodness
    variable? (and by extension a 4b variable for
    selecting Susy Higgs events.

28
29
Supersymmetry
Run 2 has discovery reach beyond LEP in 25
different channels. Leptons and ET are the key
ingredients. DØ low ET lepton triggering in Run
2 is important addition. Tevatron has good
potential for sighting SUSY in Run 2.

production (Run III Run 2b 15 fb-1).
GMSB gg ET search (c10 ? G g )
  • Trigger questions Develop more powerful lepton
    triggers. Take the lepton thresholds lower using
    CFT/CAL correlations. Design restrictive t
    triggers. There is room for new ideas and
    simulations.
  • Pointing photons GMSB has g decays from NLSP
    to LSP gravitino. Develop algorithms for photons
    pointing to vertex.

Supersymmetry
Stop searches in several channels
  • squark, gluino decays place a premium on
    missing ET resolution, control of calorimeter
    noise.
  • Missing ET How well can missing ET be
    incorporated in the trigger. Include ICR
    detectors in L1 trigger. Modify thresholds for
    summing CAL tower energy into ET to optimize
    resolution at L1.
  • Kinks Develop the algorithms needed to detect
    charged particle kinks associated with c1 ?
    c10 p decays (slow p ) characteristic of AMSB.
  • And
  • Framework Tevatron in Run 1 lacked a solid
    phenomenological framework (defined benchmarks)
    for interpreting SUSY limits (as LEP had).
    These need to be defined for the several types of
    SUSY breaking. Also should develop the
    methodology for combining DØ and CDF results for
    Tevatron averages.

Summary
  • Its not all over when the detector is
    commissioned !
  • New clever ideas are needed to gain more
    sensitivity for Run 2 physics studies and
    searches
  • Much work remaining to develop generators and
    better control of QCD processes
  • Great opportunities to develop triggers that
    increase sensitivity to t, ET, special
    topologies
  • Develop better algorithms dijet mass,
    b-tagging, min bias event tags, etc.

Combined World results
Combining with the CDF result, Tevatron MW
80.454 0.060 GeV . LEP experiments precision
(per experiment) about the same as Tevatron.
LEP MW has increased over the past two years, so
now good agreement between LEP and Tevatron LEP
MW average 80.450 0.039
World Avg MW 80.451 0.033 GeV
The indirect MW indication from Z, n, top
measurements is 80.373 0. 023 GeV, nearly 2s
from the measured value.
Mt, MW give strong constraint on the Higgs boson
mass in the framework of the SM (green ellipse)
Indirect prediction (red ellipse) from the
precision LEP/SLC/nN measurements in reasonable
agreement (lt than 2s), but with the new higher
MW, there is a weak hint of the effect of new
physics. Supersymmetry would provide new
particles whose virtual effects would predict
higher MW.
